We had spent a nice Saturday at the market place – shopping, eating out, planning a restaurant lunch for hubby’s friends who had clamored enough for a wedding treat, and we had taken our week-old i10 for its first visit to the main market hub in our city.
We returned home tired but I was utterly satisfied with the way we had spent the day in constructive activities. But the hubby sulked. He looked upset and downtrodden and he sulked non-stop for two-hours.
I was concerned. I asked him umpteen times on what caused him so much concern. I thought it was my over-board shopping of five-pairs of shoes and brightly colored t-shirts. But then it was the last sale of the season, and I always had a massive shoe-shopping fetish and most importantly, I paid for all the purchase. Then, why was he so low!
I gave up asking in exasperation and then he slowly came up to me and said, “I will tell you the truth!
My heart missed a beat, but I said, “Go on …!”
“I am not upset with you or your shopping but with myself because I managed to get a scratch in the side of our new car!”
I took a sigh of relief and immediately switched role from guilty-shopoholic wife to petting-cajoling mommy!

especially the last line hahaha happens far too often post-marriage. i remember i even cried once when i got my hair done for over 100 pounds!!! expensive haircut was a pointless exercise cuz it looked the same as it would’ve with a 20 pound cut. came home, and bawled my eyes out for having wasted ‘our’ hard-earned money … and he just stared at me without knowing what to say. he had never seen me cry before. lol

March 28th, 2008 at 6:25 pmIt’s funny how there are all these jokes about what goes on in a woman’s mind and all the rest of it, but I have to say that men are no better!! They do all the stuff women are infamous for: sulk, gossip (and how!), get senti for no apparent reasons, to name a few.
And when it comes to falling ill, Gosh, that’s a whole different story. I read this funny line in a women’s mag the other day (no I don’t subscribe to the stuff, but LOVE to read it in the local beauty parlour!)Here goes:
What would you prefer? A five year old with jaundice, or your husband with a cold??
